I love my new Brooks running shoes! It is hard for me to find comfortable shoes but these are amazing! Not only are the comfortable, but they are also light weight and true to size.

My daughter does Track and field and these are the only shoes that will provide the correct stability . She also adds a hard insoles to provide more arch support. The blue color is beautiful!

Bought the pink ones in D width. Instantly comfortable & I have hard feet to fit due to bunions and hammertoes. I LOVE that I was able to immediately wear the shoes for long distance workouts! Only issue is the arch support which isn't enough if you are like me and are flat footed & over pronate. I will have to have my orthopedist make some inserts for me.

I bought these in a size larger than I wear for everyday shoes. And also a wide width. (I normally wear a 6.5 B in shoes but wear a 7.5 Wide for athletic shoes.)These are the most comfortable athletic shoes I have ever bought. They even have cushioning around the back if the heel. I use them for walking but am sure I could also use them for my workouts at the gym. I have been wearing ASICS for years but will be changing to Brooks. I think it was the price that held me back but they are worth it.

Love these shoes! Much more arch support than my previous running shoes (Mizuno’s). Still really light weight for longer runs. Highly recommended!

The shoes fit great, look good & I didn’t have to break them in. Just put them on & went off to do my errands. Will buy again!

Very happy with these shoes! Wide enough in the toe and narrow enough in the heel for me! I wear an 11 1/2 narrow and the shoe was just a tiny bit loose in the heel on the left foot. But all in all a remarkable fit for someone who has an extremely difficult time finding shoes. Just ordered two more pair.

Great shoe. It is my second pair of Ghost 12 and they were comfortable right out of the box. I have a number of foot problems and am relieved to have discovered the Ghost series.

When the box came, I thought maybe they had forgotten to include both shoes! Super light and very comfortable. Because I wear a narrow, my choices are limited somewhat, but these shoes are terrific. Love the colors too.

I love the checker print and patterned thin laces. They give me great support running. The tongue is even quilted. I like that the soles are actually a like grey instead of the white that they look online. Helps cover dirt.

Finally - A perfect fit and comfortable shoe for my old feet! After I retired and entered my 70's, my favorite everyday Saucony Pro Grid Walkers were no longer comfortable. I tend to supinate when I walk and found almost every walking/running shoe felt like I had a rock under my arch. After extensive search online and visiting several sporting goods stores, I found the Brooks Ghost 12 to be the most comfortable and amenable to orthotics. I can now say I have 5 pairs of Brooks Ghost 12 in my favorite colors and they are now my favorite everyday shoes. I did have one pair of Ghost 11 which I gave to a friend of mine as the Ghost 11 provided no support for me at all. Hooray for Ghost 12...the perfect everyday shoe for my old feet! Thank you Zappos for your great customer service! I remain a VERY satisfied customer!

These are very close to the fit of the ghost 11. Loved them as soon as they hugged me feet for the first time. Plantar fasciitis was starting to flare up, and within two days of wearing these, all symptoms were gone.

I love the red and black checks! I've had Ghosts before so I was pretty sure I would like them and I do! Now I can be fashionable AND comfortable while walking for my health! Now I want the confetti ones, too!

For me, Best. Shoe. Ever! I have five pair of Brooks, this is my first pair of the Ghost model. I recently had a hip replacement and needed cushioning for a few months. Love everything about them. The toe box is wide enough for my bunion, the fit is snug but not too tight. I ordered my usual sneaker size 7.5 in black and they are great right out of the box. Going to order another pair soon.

Great fitting shoe. I have very narrow feet and have to insert my prescription orthotics in my Ghosts. Just wish Brooks would give me more than one color choice.

I've been wearing the Brooks Ghost shoe since version 9. I've tried just about every running shoe and have found these to be the best. They feel good, they look good and they last. Don't mess around with the others. Get your Ghost 12's and get out there on the pavement.
